SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium sits inside COEX, the convention and shopping complex in Samseong-dong. Around 650 species, some 40,000 animals in all, live in 183 display tanks spread over 16 themed zones, and it keeps more kinds of sharks, and more sharks, than any other aquarium in Korea. Rest spots along the route and open-top tanks keep the pace easy, and more than a million visitors come each year.
